<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 2493740, member: 13307&quot;]My thoughts would be this:</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you want to spend the rest of your life &quot;policing the Internet?&quot;&nbsp; Not meant to be sarcastic in any way, but if your intention is to keep someone from taking advantage of someone else...there are so many variables (educating the ignorant, reporting his posts, posting your own warnings) that you will end up wasting too much of your day...and this guy will basically find other way to keep doing what he&#039;s doing.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve done this before (trying to report a scammer on CL.)&nbsp; What ends up happening is that nothing ends up happening - CL won&#039;t block someone like that.&nbsp; If you put up your own ads warning people, this guy will read them and then hit Report so many times that your ad will get taken down.&nbsp; Then you put it back up, he sends you death threats, and gets yours taken down again.</p><p><br /></p><p>You might try posting an informative thread about how much people&#039;s coins are actually worth (I&#039;ve done this too) - what happens is the guy reports your ad and gets it taken down, just like the previous one.&nbsp; Even if you say nothing specific about them - they live off other people being ignorant, so they will take your post down.</p><p><br /></p><p>You contact your local police, who many times will reply that &quot;unless a crime can be proven to be in progress, they do not have the manpower or legal justification to do anything.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You might try contacting your local news reporter looking for a &quot;protecting innocent consumers&quot; story - maybe they set up a sting and put it on the news.&nbsp; Maybe that will help someone.</p><p><br /></p><p>You might try contacting your local and state authorities...who will either blow you off or pass a rule that does nothing to actually fix the problems you see.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, in the end, what can you do except block/ignore the troll and be fair to people you do business with?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
